Pastorbadger,
Your argument is extremely convincing. I hope that you're right, because that'd just be AWESOME!
Wacky fun!

Urg, now we have Serenity 2: In Search of Wash. That's the last thing i'd wish on anyone. Unless, they tie it in with finding out Books past, cause therre's no way he's coming back.
No, I am not insane, I am crazy. Thank you for asking.

"The Scene"
Serenitys ramp lowers. Bright light shows the outline of a male figure standing there waiting to board the ship,all hazy looking like Riveres dreams sequences.
Figure starts up the ramp. "Wash....Wash is that you?" Mal asks while other crew members stand about. The figure comes into focus, stands before Mal and salutes. "Bill Paxton. Ready to pilot the ship sir."
What do ya think?

Not convinced, sorry.
I went back and watched the scene in slow motion, pausing as the camera looks down on the big ol' stake going through him. The stake, though it might not have directly hit his heart, was definitely big enough to have collapsed both of his lungs. A person can live without air for 2 minutes. That's cutting it awful close for the Reavers to come in, decide on a snack (but oh, not one that takes any vital organs or anything), and then for the Alliance to come in and somehow decide Wash is not dead when even his Captain and his own wife had already decided he was dead.
Also, Joss is not fond of cliches, and having a person seem to die only to be saved at the last minute seems awfully cliche and un-Joss. Sure, people in Whedonverse come back to life, but they were never not dead. They were 100% dead and only the Powers that Be or magic brought them back (thinking of Angel and Buffy in particular here). And since we don't really have Powers that Be or magic in the Serenifly verse, I don't think Wash is anything but dead right now. Heck, Tara died from one gunshot, and though many people survive from shots like hers, she didn't. And she didn't miraculously come back to life later. It was heartwrenching and senseless, just like Wash's death.
I just don't think Joss would trick us like that.
Of course, I hope I'm wrong.

It was a Reaver ship. If you watch you the opening scenes you will see that the ship does not match the designs of any of the Alliance craft.

I can't help but let a big smile slip thinking about river, sober as a judge thanks to getting Miranda out of her head, and Wash now mad as a march hare, thanks to Alliance interrogation.
We actually may see the juggling of goslings...

I too am sure it was a Reaver ship.
The theory on Wash's return is interesting, but denial can be an ugly thing. He's dead. Please get over it.

Buzzzzzzz! Oh, sorry but thank you for playing our game. Vanna has some lovely parting gifts for you.
We'll ignore for the moment that you've somehow got a comprehensive set of schematics for all Alliance craft in service, including contractors and new, secret designs, and consider the reavers for a moment: They didn't make their ships! They cut up and uglified whatever was left on Miranda. Maybe what they can jack in the performance of their daily mayhem. A.k.a. Alliance ships. Any reaver ship must also be an Alliance design.
It's the lack of really skinny folk ridin' on the outside of the ship I use to make this call. Reavers aren't known for a quick run through the auto-wash before a big battle.
(I meant that to sound considerably less harsh, but forums don't carry tone, so I'll throw one of these in
